Edwin Booth will appear at the Hyperion Theater Wednesday evening in ''Richelieu." :" An exchange says of this eminent tragedian: ssMr Booths representation of the ideal car dinal of Bulwer's imagining did not deviate from the familiar lines which the great tra- gedian long since laid down as a dramatic index of the character. The stern and com polling will, intense hatred and scorn, and fine contempt of selfshness and self-seeking, all these, with a multitude of other conflict ing emotions, were portrayed with the assur- ed skill of the master and strong sweeping touch of experience. The matchless elocu- ton of Mr. Booth, with it's vast resources of light and shade of pathos and passion, lent to Rulwer's turgid lines and artificial senti- ment, 8 glamour of realism which, while the actor was upon the stage, suffused all the mimic events in majestic splendor. His support was excellent"
